What about the L tuned OZ Superturismo wheels? Super rare and clean! This was an option wheel package for the GS300 back in 02. Weak wheel specs but that's what spacers are for. lol
I have heard of a couple people mounted these on an IS3 sedan, never seen pics though...BUT I may be the first to mount on a Sportcross. =) We'll see...

Not a big fan either, they look cheap. I like the OZ OEM ones, the TTE Pitlanes (my fav so far) too. I'm also looking at a small section of aftermarket wheels, mainly just Enkei RPF01s (new), Work Meisters/SSR Professors (used), and any BBS mesh wheel (used). Those are about the only aftermarket wheels that really call my name on these cars. I tend to lean towards silver/polished/chrome/black chrome on this color, not much of a crazy wheel color kind of guy, but the more I look at it the more a candy teal mesh wheel with a polished lip would probably look pretty good on GGP.

The L tuned OZ wheels are rare and they go up for sale from time to time in the classified here. The pic I posted of those OZs are mine. 
I recently got them and now I am working on getting them detailed and ready for spring. Offsets are weak but I don't care.

What do you guys think about this?
That's a photoshop of lowered but not slammed on 18x8 +30 stock G35 coupe wheels. I'm REALLY liking how this is looking, like the perfect combination of sporty luxury. I'd run no center caps unless the Lexus ones will fit. The offset is fairly aggressive for an IS300 but the styling is classy but still sporty, just looks like it "fits" without being too simply or overly complicated to me. I think it would be a really nice daily driver set of wheels. Thoughts?

One more of a side angle just for kicks and to see how the concave face looks. Obviously couldn't get offset right, they'd sit much more flush and look that much better than the photoshop shows.
I might be sold.

Final three choices that I'm narrowed down to. Top ones are hypersilver 18s, bottom two are both 17s one being silver with a polished lip (non-staggered) and one being bronze (all offsets in the 30-35 range). I lean towards 17s. Photoshop shows the car lowered, and I'll also be adding a subtle lip to the front, but no other exterior mods are planned. Keeping it simple and subtle. Thoughts?
